The fastening ineens 2 may also serve as holding means to prevent vertical or latere-l displacement of the bottle, as implicated most clearly in Fig. l.

This ill-siding or wiring of the enges el the plates wif :ilse serve te properly` stillen the seme.,

The sustaining means B may he olf rrire or nmteriel of my nature. The inner ends of the sustaining means are attached to Ithe plates'of the holder, Whereas 'their outer ends are designed to be attached to the Crib., earriage, or other supporting means in any e011- venient end defefyrliuiite wey. lly proper sdjustmentof the susiniuiiii:J he readily understood that the position el' the hottlemay he adjusted to ,liest meet 'the requireiuei'u's of the iu it to he led so este ir1- sure iieiuishuiehi obtained Without Wind passing into the stomach along' with the food, 'As indicated, stiuls l. project leterelly from opposite sides of the holder, the inner ends el the sustaining means ll @ne or both olf the studs l may he adjustable le admit oli veryiug the ineliimtien of' the holder. For this purpose, one er hotil of the studs muy he attached te :la longitudinally slotted plate 5 which is zufljustihly secured to the holder by nie/:ms et' a threaded element S, :md s Winged nut 7 seiipsrntiug lherewilh.

This insuies the pl'opei pos' in` of the nursing bottle, so that he infant muy obtain all the food with out drawing wind into ne Stomach and without. becoming freted as is frequently the Case when the bottle becomes dislgwlaced befole the contents are drawn therefrom.
